Healthy living doesn't simply mean exercising regularly and eating right. Good health begins with cleanliness. Keeping the kitchen clean is of utmost importance as this is where food is prepared. Here are the top 5 cleaning tips to keep your kitchen clean and keep bacteria and mold at bay:

1. Clean as you go. As soon as you finish in one place, start cleaning it as soon as you can. This prevents water and other fluids seeping into cracks and becoming a breeding ground for germs.

2. Water can be dangerous. Stagnant water left to dry in the sink or benchtop can breed bacteria. So it's important to mop up any excess water from surfaces.
